At last we are getting back to some semblance of normality .... doom and death of game comments. After Fleet Carrier announcements I thought we might never see them again !It's been a while since someone reminded me this game is dead, thanks!

Yes, let's completely ignore the point of earning the Arx in-game just so we can complain about optionally buying them
So buy as many Arx as you are prepared to pay for in a given week/month/year and earn the rest in game after all it is relatively uncommon for any one time only and limited period cosmetics are put up for sale so usually there is no need to rush.Are you really so dense you didn't realize I was using the decal as an example. The problem exists for many purchases, the point is your buying more than you want because Frontier wants to scam you.

The amount I'm prepared to pay for is the amount required to purchase the item I want and no more. That isn't an option. It could have been an option but Frontier wants your money now in the hopes you wont use all you bought. It's a common scam, it's pure evil.
Alternatively, earn Arx while playing the game, then top-up whatever you need for your cosmetic purchase - job done
You realise earned-Arx and bought-Arx can be used together, yes?Not everyone wants to wait forever to earn them in game, I have no problem for those that want to, but for those that were happy buying through the frontier store for the exact amount of purchase, this is basically Frontier saying they don't want my money.
You don't go out much do you?
What's pure evil is tabbing me five euro for a drop of reasonable good Scotch in a bar.
Gulp,....gone, now that's evil.
We're talking nickel and dimes here compared to going out for one night.
That doesn't change the fact I have to buy 5000 of them at a time. Not sure what your getting at. If the item is, say, 500.. I have 250 earned, I have to buy 5000 for the 250 I need. (Note: This just is an example to get the point across, you wouldn't think I'd have to say that, but well... Here we are.)You realise earned-Arx and bought-Arx can be used together, yes?
You use words like "have to" and "need". We're talking about optional cosmetics here. If you don't want to buy "spare" Arx for the optional cosmetics you'd like, then wait until you've earned enough Arx playing the game so that a chosen Arx pack brings you to the required Arx amount - easyThat doesn't change the fact I have to buy 5000 of them at a time.

But you are willing to pay that and you are getting exactly what you paid for. Here I'm willing to pay the cost of the item, not the cost of the item plus a bunch more for some digital currency I may or may not find a use for.
I wonder how long after the Update goes live on Wednesday until we see the first complaint thread titled "My Arx balance isn't zero, everytime I play it increases, no matter what I buy... my OCD is sending me crazy!"

Yes, optional. And as I told you earlier, I am discussing the option to buy, which I have now with the frontier store and have used and will not when Arx is here. That happens to be what my original post said. Strangely enough.
At the moment you cannot spend less than £3 in the store. If you want one paint-job, you need to buy six, five of which you will never use. That's a huge waste of money.That doesn't change the fact I have to buy 5000 of them at a time. Not sure what your getting at. If the item is, say, 500..
